dont worry linds you dont sound snide! i understand where you are coming from BUT this is PRE workup. no ones even been listed. i understand fully that drinking would be a massive no no post tx, even pre tx/post listing due to the fact that you wouldnt want to have alcohol in your system if you get the call. but nothing has even happened yet! as far as im concerned, patients who are not listed are just that, regular patients who are not listed. they should have the right to do 'regular patient' things while they can because once they are listed things change forever.
